Gaming News - October 2005
Los Angeles, CA (October 20, 2005) - VU Games today announced
that Sierra Entertainment and Mad Doc are developing the first expansion pack
for Empire Earth II, Empire Earth II: The Art of Supremacy, which is scheduled
for release in Spring 2006.
From VU Games:
Empire Earth II: The Art of Supremacy will return gamers to the front lines
of the greatest battles in history with new civilizations at their command, new
campaigns and a host of new features that make this year's best strategy game
more addicting than ever. Bold victories on far-off battlefields, from wintry
Russian plains to scorching African deserts, will establish the player’s
undisputable reputation as the world’s greatest leader – past, present and
future.
“We were thrilled with Empire Earth II, with its reception from the fans and
press, with its innovations, and with its take on the series,” notes Dr. Ian
Davis, CEO of Mad Doc. “Yet there’s always something more you want to do, always
some way to make a great game even better. We were aching to add the Fealty and
Tug-of-War Modes, and I think fans are going to have a lot of fun with these.
Those, and the other features we’ve put into play here, really make the Empire
Earth II experience complete.”
New Features in Empire Earth II: The Art of Supremacy include:
- Two new modes, including Fealty Mode, where players on the ropes can
declare “fealty,” to become a permanent ally or vassal to another player; and
Tug-of-War Mode, where multiple battles are fought across three, five, or
seven maps with ultimate victory coming from defeating a foe on their home map
- Three new globe-spanning campaigns will allow gamers to relive more of
mankind’s most legendary moments, from the time of the Pharaohs to the reign
of Napoleon
- Ten new combat units, including Zulu Warriors, Russian Howitzers, and
Rafale Stealth fighters, with which to conquer the world’s most powerful foes
- Upgrades from regular units to powerful Heroes in victory
- The ability to conquer, assimilate or ally with Native Tribes
- New persistent units that will remain and retain upgrades across multiple
scenarios
- New strategies to master in new game modes, with advanced units and
additional civilizations
- A new editor that allows the player to create unique custom civilizations
- A streamlined and improved multiplayer matchmaking interface
Empire Earth II: The Art of Supremacy will arrive February 2006 with an
estimated retail price of $29.99. The game has been rated ‘T for Teen’ by the
ESRB.
